On Our Radar And so began our week, kickin’ it old school with some pretty strong opinions coming from mikey_w: anyone who embraces responsive web design is stupid. Ryan agrees that “anyone that thinks Design alone is all there is […]

On Our Radar We began the week with a fairly heated discussion on which preprocessor was best: Sass or Less. Most people said Sass. Hardly any said […]

But it can also bring us incredible things, as we found out this week. On Our Radar We are well and truly into the swing of things with our “Month of June” competition on the […]

On Our Radar:

It's competition time! Post anything in the forums during the month of June and you can win an incredible range of prizes! Seriously, create new topics and replies in the forum and you can win a whole bunch of swag.

It has come to our attention, and Mittineague's that there are many "On Our Radar" imposters out there. Well, not so much imposters as there are many other blogs using our very title. So when it comes to choosing a title, do you go with the same old as everyone else, or do you create something meaningful, or do you create something pun-tastic? Do you have any suggestions for what we might name ourselves?

We discovered there are a few different ways to strip a table thanks to Dez's question, and it all comes down to preferences. We also look into where to actually put the code in the grand scheme of things. It's a simple question, but sometimes we get stuck in the detail, so it's good to be able to take a step back and look at things as a whole.

]]>On Our Radar: Pair Programming, The Cloud, a UI for Your Nosehttps://www.sitepoint.com/radar-pair-programming-cloud-php7-javascript/
Sat, 09 May 2015 17:00:32 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/?p=105207Welcome back to On Our Radar! This week we learned there’s no place like 127.0.0.1

On Our Radar

It was a week of revisiting older threads and asking lots of questions. Mawburn got the Pair Programming conversation started, and we’d love to know what your experience with Pair Programming has been. Does it feel like someone’s looking over your shoulder? is it useful for on boarding or when someone leaves? Does it create ultimately better, less buggy code? Does it help to have someone watch you code, or does it irritate you? We learn a lot by seeing how others tackle problems, has this been the case for you?

Ohnoo recently joined our forums and, as a beginner in CSS, has some basic questions. Do you remember when you were first starting with CSS? Theory is the easiest thing in the world, but putting it all into practice can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when you’re starting out. Take a look at basic CSS layouts, refresh or test your basic CSS knowledge, and help a fellow web dev out.

Louis asks some hard questions for our Forum: are we in a scripting dependency backlash? Is overusing JavaScript-driven UIs and MV frameworks ultimately good or bad for the JavaScript community?
